Hi! I'm back to update Beautiful Mistake! I'm glad to see that people are starting to like this story and are waiting to read more. So thank you to those who gave this story a favourite and also who are following as well. Also a thank you to the people who have reviewed.

They are much appreciated.

I have changed the storyline a bit so just a warning if some things don't look the same.

Now sit back and read because Nick is about to meet Gatsby for the first time.


"Who, me?" I asked, slightly confused as Katherine nodded and went to take hold of my hand. "He really wants to say hello and see if you're enjoying the party." She responded, smiling at me and then towards the other man's direction. "But…why?" I had to question but all I got for a reply was an eye roll and a tug of my hand.

"Come on, Nick. You won't regret it! He's an amazing man!" She said, excitement and admiration for this man in her voice as she led me over to him. As we drew nearer and nearer, I could see the man had his back turned to us, looking towards the main entrance. If it wasn't for Katherine, I bet he wouldn't have even noticed us come. "Jay!" Katherine said happily as she looped her arm around his own. This caught the young man's attention and a caring smile appeared on his lips. "Kat." He said kindly before looking towards me and smiling. "I see you've brought a friend." The young woman nodded as she let go of the man's arm and came to mine.

"Jay, this is Nicholas Carraway or just Nick for short." She introduced me and I put my hand out, gesturing for a handshake. The man called Jay reached his hand out and shook mine firmly. "Hello Nick, nice to meet you." He said politely before he looked around and asked" Are you having a good time at the party, Old sport?" I nodded and replied" Yes, I am. It's actually quite a lot of fun. Katherine here, has been keeping me company and I've just been wondering around."

Jay nodded with a slight smile and asked" So what made you come over here today?" I felt Katherine's grip on my arm tighten slightly as I answered the question. "Well, I was invited by Gatsby himself to come and attend the party tonight so I came." I then pointed out something which just popped up in my mind. "In fact, I haven't seen Gatsby at all today. I know that he doesn't often attend his parties but I just thought he would be around." From my side view, I could a small smile etching onto Katherine's face.

I looked back at Jay and he seemed to have a familiar smile on as well. "I see. Well, no one has really seen him before but it's been told that he has done many great things, Old sport…" Jay trailed off into thought before his eyes lit up. "He was an oxford man." Katherine also pitched in. "And he fought in the war. A war veteran." I think about for a minute and say" But apparently he's the nephew to a some evil German leader and he's done an awful lot of bad things." I noticed the light in Jay's eyes dim a little as I said that.

Katherine waved it off and said" Oh nonsense. Just because a man came out of nowhere with all his wealth doesn't mean he's exactly evil." I noticed Katherine give Jay a kind smile as he gave her a thankful look.

What was going on?

I nod in understanding before saying" But that must have been ages ago. Surely Gatsby must be in his late years now." Before Jay could respond, a short burst of laughter came from Katherine's mouth. We both looked at her, slightly surprised yet amused.

"Hm…Excuse me, gentleman. I've got to go and say goodbye to Miss June. I promised her I would." She said quickly before smiling at both of us and leaving to meet a raven haired woman standing near the entrance.

"You know, Old sport, those stories aren't true." Jay said with a slight smile as he looked over the pool and at the lake. I hesitantly nodded before saying" But we don't exactly know if they're false either. I mean, we have to consider both sides. Besides, no one has ever met Gatsby before so maybe it will just stay that way." Jay looked at me and gave me a brilliant smile. "Well, I think you can say you have meet Gatsby." My eyes widened as he said that and I looked around, looking for the old man.

"Where?" I asked anxiously. Jay then laughed and before giving me a smile….a smile which was so full of hope that it always made me feel like anything was possible.

"Old sport, I'm Gatsby."

My eyes widened yet again as the fireworks were finally released and Gatsby, with his brilliant smile, raised his glass towards me.

It suddenly all made sense at that point.

I then turned around out of curiosity and saw Katherine leaning against a pillar, watching the fireworks with a smile on her face.

I looked at Gatsby one more time before lifting my head up to look at the fireworks.

Jay Gatsby….


Yeah, so I finally finished chapter 4! Yeah, such an accomplishment I know. …So tired.
